I see your teeth flash,
Jamaican honey so sweet,
down where Lexington cross forty seventh street.

Oh, she's a big girl,
she's standing six foot three,
turning tricks for the dudes in the big city.

Island girl,
what you wantin' wid de white man's world.

Island girl,
black boy want you in his island world.

He want to take you from de racket boss.
He want to save you but de cause is lost.

Island girl, island girl, island girl,
tell me what you wantin'
wid de white man's world.

She's black as coal,
but she burn like a fire.

And she wrap herself around you
like a well worn tire.

You feel her nail scratch your back
just like a rake.

Oh, he one more gone,
he one more john who make de mistake.

Island girl,
what you wantin' wid de white man's world.

Island girl,
black boy want you in his island world.

He want to take you from de racket boss.
He want to save you but de cause is lost.

Island girl, island girl, island girl,
tell me what you wantin'
wid de white man's world.

Island girl,
what you wantin' wid de white man's world.

Island girl,
black boy want you in his island world.

He want to take you from de racket boss.
He want to save you but de cause is lost.

Island girl, island girl, island girl,
tell me what you wantin' wid de white man's,

tell me what you wantin' wid de white man's,
tell me what you wantin' wid de white man's.
